Chrome Cleaner
All,
Anyone know of any non-abrassive chrome cleaner? Here is a pic of my car / wheels. They have a 2 inch lip, which is chrome and I started to notice fine hairline marks in the chrome. HELP!!

Not major ones, they almost look like swirls, lite swirls. I know there is a filler or thought I heard of a filler. In any case, I will get some close ups soon..

I've used Mother's and it is pretty good for the money but I started using something my Harley riding friends use. This stuff requires some elbow grease (OK a lot) but the results are very good and it is as non-abrasive as the others.

If you have scratches in your chrome, you might try an abrasive compound like Simichrome polish.

hairline marks in the chrome? Sounds like a poor chrome plating, No metal cleaner can fix that.... please post some pics so I can be sure of it.
Here is a closeup. If you look close, you can see these fine scratches.

ah yes, this is due to your wash technique. Those are probably clearcoated polished lips that have been scratched from using a poor wash mitt/dirty wash mitt or just poor technique. You must be careful with those wheels. Try something like mothers clearcoat wheel polish or a swirl mark remover like 3M SMR.

Still wiating for the Hawg Wash, and the 3m. As soon as I get them, I am going to do one wheel with each and then compare. I will let you know my findings after it is done. Hopefully this weekend! I can't take it anymore!
